When... series
Pulished by Penguin, 2021-2025
Have you ever wondered how Moon got her craters? Or why Cloud rains when she gets full?
When... is a series of nature biographies told by the phenomena themselves. Each book follows a different natural character — from their origin story (sprouting, forming, colliding) through the changes they go through over time.
They mix science and emotions with a light drizzle of puns. Aimed at preschoolers, but made for anyone curious about the inner lives of clouds, moons, and trees.
The series is rooted in animist storytelling shaped by the question: if we can care about one little cloud with a personality, might we care more deeply about nature as a whole?
